Public Safety

The Post-Dispatch on the House's xenophobic driver's license testing bill: "Monday, [the House] gave initial approval to a bill that would eliminate the longstanding and responsible practice of offering drivers tests to legal Missouri immigrants in their native language. The Missouri State Highway Patrol doesn't support the bill. Neither do insurance companies, who rightly point out it would offer an incentive for new drivers to drive illegally and, thus, make our roads less safe. But never mind reality."
